Detailed Description
The painting shows a scene with five figures in an outdoor setting under a light blue sky. In the center-right, a man with long brown hair and a beard, dressed in a long grey robe, kneels on the ground with his hands clasped, looking upwards. He is positioned to the left of a large, dark brown mound of earth or rock. Above and slightly to the right of this mound, a small, winged figure floats in the sky. This figure, depicted in a reddish-orange garment, holds a golden cup in its hands. To the left of the kneeling man, a young man with long brown hair, wearing a dark green tunic and light orange trousers, sits on the ground with his hands clasped in front of him, looking down. His bare feet are visible. Further to the left and slightly behind him, another man with light brown hair, wearing a blue garment, lies asleep on a grassy mound, his head resting on his arm. To the right of the kneeling man, a third young man, also with long brown hair, wearing a dark green tunic and red trousers, sits on the ground, leaning forward with his head resting on his arm, appearing to be asleep. His bare feet are also visible. A slender, dark tree trunk rises vertically behind the central kneeling figure, extending towards the top of the frame. In the far left background, several slender trees with sparse foliage stand against a backdrop of rolling blue hills under the pale sky. The foreground consists of a textured brown and green ground.
